                                     PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

     Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 28, 1989. The
General Partners of the Partnership are Related Freedom Associates L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the " Related General Partner"), and Freedom GP
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Lehman General Partner" and together with the
Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The general partner of the
Related General Partner is Related Freedom Associates Inc., a Delaware
corporation.

     On February 9, 1990, the Partnership commenced a public offering (the
"Offering") of Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") representing
assignments of limited partnership interests in the Partnership ("Limited
Partnership Interests"), pursuant to a prospectus dated February 9, 1990, as
supplemented by supplements thereto dated December 7, 1990, May 10, 1991, July
10, 1991 and July 23, 1991 (as so supplemented, the "Prospectus").

     The Partnership has received $72,896,000 of Gross Proceeds of the Offering
from 4,780 investors, and the Offering has been terminated. (See Item 8,
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)

     The Partnership was formed to invest as a limited partner in other limited
partnerships ("Local Partnerships"), each of which owns one or more leveraged
low-income multi-family residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or
"Properties") that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Housing
Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and some of which may also
be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Tax Credit";
together with Housing Tax Credits, the "Tax Credits"). The Partnership's
investment in each Local Partnership represents 98% to 99% of the partnership
interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had
acquired interests in forty-two Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 1997,
approximately $58,000,000 of net proceeds have been invested in such properties,
representing all of the Partnership's net proceeds available for investment.
Subsequent to March 31, 1997 and as of the date of this filing, there have been
no additional investments, nor are any other investments expected. See Item 2,
Properties, below.

     The investment objectives of the Partnership are described below.

     1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to Housing Tax Credits over the Credit
Period (as defined below) with respect to each Apartment Complex.

     2. Preserve and protect the Partnership's capital.

     3. Participate in any capital appreciation in the value of the Properties
and provide distributions of sale or refinancing Proceeds upon the disposition
of the Properties.

     4. Allocate passive losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive
income that they may realize from rental real estate investments and other
passive activities, and allocate passive losses to corporate BACs holders to
offset business income.

     One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to
Housing Tax Credits over the period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim
Tax Credits (for each Property, generally ten years from the date of investment
or, if later, the date the Property is leased to qualified tenants; referred to
herein as the "Credit Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has an interest has been allocated by the relevant



                                      -2-
<PAGE>

state credit agency the authority to recognize Housing Tax Credits during the
Credit Period provided that the Local Partnership satisfies the rent
restriction, minimum set-aside and other requirements for recognition of the
Housing Tax Credits at all times during such period. Once a Local Partnership
has become eligible to recognize Housing Tax Credits, it may lose such
eligibility and suffer an event of "recapture" if its Property fails to remain
in compliance with the Housing Tax Credit requirements. None of the Local
Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an
event of recapture.

     There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its investment
objectives.

Competition

     The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
properties acquired are subject to active competition from similar properties in
their respective vicinities. In addition, various other limited partnerships
may, in the future, be formed by the General Partners and/or their affiliates to
engage in businesses which may compete with the Partnership.

Employees

     The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are
performed for the Partnership by its General Partners and their affiliates. The
General Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set
forth in Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General
Partners and certain of their affiliates for expenses incurred in connection
with the performance by their employees of services for the Partnership in
accordance with the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate
of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").

Item 2. Properties.

     The Partnership holds a 99%, 98.99% and 98% limited partnership interest in
nine, ten and twenty-three Local Partnerships, respectively. Set forth below is
a schedule of these Local Partnerships including certain information concerning
the Apartment Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further information
concerning these Local Partnerships and their Properties, including any
encumbrances affecting the properties, may be found in Schedule III.

     All leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and
no tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.

     Commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies)
comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Rents for the
residential units are determined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") and reflect increases, if any, in consumer price
indices in various geographic areas.

     Management continuously reviews the physical state of the properties and
budgets improvements when required which are generally funded from cash flow
from operations or release of replacement reserve escrows. No improvements are
expected to require additional financing.

     Management continuously reviews the insurance coverage of the properties
and believes such coverage is adequate.

     See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which
the properties described above are subject.

     Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations
determined by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes
have approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in
Schedule III to the financial statements included herein.

     In connection with investments in development-stage Apartment Complexes,
the General Partners generally require that the general partners of the Local
Partnerships ("Local General Partners") provide completion guarantees and/or
undertake to repurchase the Partnership's interest in the Local Partnership if
construction or rehabilitation is not completed substantially on time or on
budget ("Development Deficit Guarantees"). Since the properties are no longer
under construction and are in the operating stage, the Development Deficit
Guarantees have expired and the operating deficit guarantees have come into
effect. The Development Deficit Guarantees generally also require the Local
General Partner to provide any funds necessary to cover net operating deficits
of the Local Partnership until such time as the Apartment Complex has achieved
break-even operations. The General Partners generally require that the Local
General Partners undertake an obligation to fund operating deficits of the Local
Partnership (up to a stated maximum amount) during a limited period of time
(typically three to five years) following the achievement of break-even
operations ("Operating Deficit Guarantees"). Under the terms of the Operating
Deficit Guarantees, amounts funded will be treated as operating loans which will
not bear interest and which will be repaid only out of 50% of available cash
flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds. In cases where the
General Partners deem it appropriate, the obligations of a Local General Partner
under the Development Deficit and Operating Deficit Guarantees were secured by
letters of credit and/or cash escrow deposits.

     Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are available
for a ten-year period that commences when the property is leased to qualified
tenants. However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in which the
Apartment Complex is leased to qualified tenants must be prorated based upon the
months remaining in the year. The amount of the annual Housing Tax Credits not
available in the first year will be available in the eleventh year. In certain
cases, the Partnership acquired its interest in a Local Partnership after the
Local Partnership had placed its Apartment Complex in service. In these cases,
the Partnership may be allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the month
following the month in which it acquired its interest. Tax Credits allocated in
any prior period are not available to the Partnership.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
        Matters.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had issued and has outstanding 72,896
Limited Partnership Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution
to the Partnership, or an aggregate capital contribution of $72,896,000. All of
the issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to
Freedom Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued
72,896 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of
$72,896,000. Each BAC represents all of the economic and virtually all of the
ownership rights attributable to a Limited Partnership Interest held by the
Assignor Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership
Interests at no cost to the holder (other than the payment of transfer costs not
to exceed $100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not
thereafter convertible into BACs. As of May 1, 1997, the Partnership has 4,736
registered holders of an aggregate of 72,896 BACs.

     Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any
established trading market. The Partnership does not intend to include the BACs
for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any national or regional stock
exchange or any other established securities market. The Revenue Act of 1987
contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly
traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners have imposed
restrictions limiting the transferability of the BACs and the Limited
Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. These restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing that would adversely
affect the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It
is expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever,
as further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to
lessen the scope of the restrictions.

     All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.

     There are no material restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the
ability of the Partnership to make distributions. The Partnership has made no
distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31, 1997. The Partnership does not
anticipate providing cash distributions to its BACs holders other than from net
refinancing or sales proceeds.

     There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of
BACs holders of limited partnerships such as the Partnership. Often these
requests are made by a person who, only a short time before making the request,
acquired merely a small number of BACs in the partnership and seeks the list for
an improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest of the
partnership or is harmful to the partnership. In order to best serve and protect
the interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the General Partners
of the Partnership have



                                      -7-
<PAGE>

adopted a policy with respect to requests for the Partnership's list of BACs
holders. This policy is intended to protect investors from unsolicited and
coercive offers to acquire BACs holders' interests and does not limit any other
rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership Agreement or
applicable law.

     During the year ended March 31, 1993, the Partnership was in the property
acquisition stage, with approximately $15,000,000 expended for construction in
progress and property and equipment. In addition, the Local Partnerships
borrowed approximately $45,000,000 during the year ended March 31, 1993. From
March 31, 1992 to March 31, 1993, the majority of the construction notes were
converted to mortgage notes. During the years ended March 31, 1993 through 1997,
total assets decreased primarily due to depreciation, partially offset by new
additions to property and equipment. Mortgage notes payable decreased primarily
due to principal repayments of mortgages.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds of its public
offering. During the year ended March 31, 1997, the primary sources of liquidity
included working capital reserves, interest earned on working capital reserves,
and distributions received from the Local Partnerships.

     Pursuant to a public offering which began in February 1990 and terminated
during August 1991, the Partnership received $72,896,000 in gross proceeds from
the sale of Limited Partnership Interests. The net proceeds available for
investment, after establishment of a working capital reserve, payment of sales
commissions, acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and organization and
offering expenses, were approximately $58,681,000. The entire amount of the net
proceeds has been fully invested in 42 Local Partnerships.

     A working capital reserve of approximately $2,551,000 (3.5% of gross equity
raised) was initially established. Approximately $649,000 remains in the reserve
as of March 31, 1997. The balance was previously used to pay operating expenses
of the Partnership, including Partnership management fees payable to the General
Partners.

     During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents of
the Partnership and its forty-two Local Partnerships decreased approximately
$319,000 primarily as a result of capital improvements ($434,000), repayments of
mortgage loans ($576,000) and a net decrease in due to local general partners
and affiliates ($352,000) which exceeded cash flow from operating activities
($1,027,000) an increase in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest ($10,000), and a decrease in deferred costs
($7,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash flow
from operating activities is forgiveness of indebtedness income ($87,000) and
depreciation and amortization ($5,336,000).

     During the years ended March 31, 1997 ("Fiscal Year 1997"), March 31, 1996
("Fiscal Year 1996") and March 31, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995") the amounts received
from the Local Partnerships were $116,296 , $116,626, and $157,786,
respectively. Cash distributions from Local Partnerships are not expected to
reach a level sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. These
distributions, as well as the working capital reserves referred to in the
paragraph above, will be used to meet the operating expenses of the Partnership.

     The original amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregated
approximately $9,500,000 of which approximately $8,400,000 had expired as of
March 31, 1997. As of March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, approximately $494,000,
$494,000, and $384,000, respectively, had been funded by the local general
partners to meet such obligations. All remaining operating deficit guarantees
expire within the next two years. Management does not expect a material impact
on liquidity, based on prior years' fundings.

     Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to
approximately $1,526,000 and $850,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.

     HUD previously released the American Community Partnerships Act (the
"ACPA"). The ACPA is HUD's blueprint for providing for the nation's housing
needs in an era of static or decreasing budget authority. Two key proposals in
the ACPA that could affect the Local Partnerships are: a discontinuation of
project-based Section 8 subsidy payments, and an attendant reduction in debt on
properties that were supported by the Section 8 payments. The ACPA calls for a
transition during which the project-based Section 8 payments would be converted
to a tenant-based voucher system. Any FHA insured debt would then be reduced in
light of the reduced income stream.

     Several industry sources have commented to HUD and Congress that in the
event the ACPA were fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in
mortgage indebtedness would be considered taxable income to owners such as the
limited partners in the Partnership. Legislative relief has been proposed to
exempt such debt reduction from cancellation of indebtedness income treatment.
At present, there are several bills pending

                                      -10-
<PAGE>


in Congress to address this tax relief issue. Additionally, in the interim, HUD
has agreed to annual extensions of any expiring project-based Section 8
contracts, but there is no guarantee that such extensions will be available in
the future.

     For a discussion of contingencies affecting a certain Local Partnership,
see Results of Operations of a Certain Local Partnership below. Since the
maximum loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the
Local Partnership, the resolution of the existing contingencies is not
anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition in a material way. However, the Partnership's loss of its investment
in a Local Partnership will eliminate the ability to generate future tax credits
from such Local Partnership and may also result in recapture of tax credits if
the investment is lost before the expiration of the credit period.

     Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will
or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the
only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is
diversified by the location of the properties around the United States so that
if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the
remaining properties in the portfolio may not be affected. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy. The Partnership has fully invested the
proceeds of its offering in 42 local partnerships, all of which have their tax
credits in place. The tax credits are attached to the project for a period of
ten years and are transferable with the property during the remainder of the ten
year period. If trends in the real estate market warranted the sale of a
property, the remaining tax credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby
adding significant value to the property on the market.

Results of Operations

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Under SFAS No. 121, the Company is required to review long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment of properties to be held and used is determined to exist when
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations on an undiscounted basis
are below the properties' carrying value. If a property is determined to be
impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value. Effective April 1,
1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, consistent with the required
adoption period.

     The determination of fair value is based, not only upon future cash flows,
which rely upon estimates and assumptions including expense growth, occupancy
and rental rates, but also upon market capitalization and discount rates as well
as other market indicators. The General Partners believe that the estimates and
assumptions used are appropriate in evaluating the carrying amount of the
Partnership's properties. However, changes in market conditions and
circumstances may occur in the near term which would cause these estimates and
assumptions to change, which, in turn, could cause the amounts ultimately
realized upon the sale or other disposition of the properties to differ
materially from their estimated fair value. Such changes may also require
write-downs in future years. No write-downs for impairments have been recorded
as of March 31, 1997.

     The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

     The Partnership's primary source of income continues to be rental income
with the corresponding expenses being divided among operations, depreciation,
and mortgage interest.

     The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with
all Local Partnerships, by which the Local General Partners have agreed to funds
operating deficits for a specified period of time commencing at break-even.
Amounts received under Operating Deficit Guarantees from the Local General
Partners are treated as operating loans which will not bear interest and will be
repaid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or
refinancing proceeds.



                                      -11-
<PAGE>



1997 vs. 1996

     Rental income increased approximately 2% for the year ended March 31, 1997
as compared to 1996 primarily due to rental rate increases.

     Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance and general and
administrative-related parties, increased less than 1% for the year ended March
31, 1997 as compared to 1996.

     Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $199,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to 1996. This increase was primarily due to the
replacement of roofs damaged by a hurricane at one Local Partnership for which
insurance proceeds were received and are included in other income, the
repainting of the building at another Local Partnership, the repainting of the
trim and an increase in landscaping expenses at a third Local Partnership as
well as small increases at three other Local Partnerships.

     General and administrative-related parties increased approximately $330,000
for the year ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 1996 primarily due to an
increase in partnership management fees payable to the General Partners.

     An extraordinary item for forgiveness of indebtedness amounting to
approximately $87,000 relating to the cancellation of a loan due to withdrawing
general partners at Eagle Ridge was recorded in the 1997 Fiscal Year.

1996 vs. 1995

     Rental income increased approximately 2% for the year ended March 31, 1996
as compared to 1995 primarily due to rental rate increases.

     Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance and general and
administrative-related parties, increased less than 1% for the year ended March
31, 1996 as compared to 1995.

     Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $328,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to eight Local Partnerships
addressing the physical needs of their properties. Increases at four Local
Partnerships were the result of an increase in landscaping expenses and
carpeting replacement. There was an increase at a fifth Local Partnership due to
painting and repairs to cabinets and doors as a result of a HUD inspection.
There was an increase at a sixth Local Partnership due to the installation of an
alarm system and replacement of doors. Carpeting replacement led to increases at
two other Local Partnerships.

     General and administrative-related parties expenses increased approximately
$199,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to
an increase in partnership management fees and property management fees.

Results of Operations of a Certain Local Partnership

     Eagle Ridge Limited Partnership

     Eagle Ridge Limited Partnership ("Eagle Ridge") has entered into a
Forbearance Agreement with Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority
("WHEDA") as a result of Eagle Ridge's failure to pay all the required
installment payments under the mortgage note. Under the terms of the agreement,
WHEDA has agreed to temporarily forego the enforcement of its rights and
remedies against Eagle Ridge through December 31, 1998 and to continue to extend
Eagle Ridge financing provided that Eagle Ridge complies with certain
conditions. The conditions of the agreement consist of, but are not limited to:
(1) monthly payments of escrow and reserve deposits, (2) monthly payments of
principal and interest limited to the lower of 100% of net operating income
("NOI") or 5% of the regularly scheduled monthly note payment (base payment),
(3) 75% of the monthly NOI in excess of the base payment for principal and
interest and (4) the remaining 35% of NOI in excess of the base payment is to be
paid as an incentive management to the management agent. The Partnership's
investment in Eagle


                                      -12-
<PAGE>


Ridge at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $278,000 and $414,000,
respectively, and the minority interest balance was approximately $163,000 and
$92,000, respectively. The Partnership's share of Eagle Ridge's net loss
amounted to approximately $137,000, $174,000 and $155,000 for the 1997, 1996,
and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.

Other

     The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating
Housing Tax Credits. Housing Tax Credits are generated by a Property over a
ten-year period commencing as each Property is leased to qualified tenants.
During the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Housing Tax Credits
received by the Partnership totaled $11,208,966, $11,208,869, and $11,208,869,
respectively. There were no Historic Tax Credits received in Fiscal Years 1997,
1996, and 1995.

     The Partnership's investments as limited partners in the Local Partnerships
are subject to the risks incident to the management and ownership of improved
real estate. The Partnership's investments also could be adversely affected by
poor economic conditions generally, which could increase vacancy levels, rental
payment defaults and operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the
financial viability of one or more of the Local Partnerships.

     There are also substantial risks associated with the operation of Apartment
Complexes receiving government assistance. These include governmental
regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to
rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval
for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and
moderate income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not
appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire there
may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local
Partnership's Apartment Complex.

     The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
generally allows for increases in rental rates to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs as a result of higher costs of such
items as fuel, utilities and labor. However, continued inflation may result in
appreciated values of the Local Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period
of time as rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase.

     The Partnership does not anticipate that it will be in a position to make
cash distributions at any time prior to the disposition of the properties. If
distributions of operating cash flow are made, it is expected that they will be
limited. As of March 31, 1997, no such distributions have been made.

     There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of
BAC holders of limited partnership such as the Partnership. Often these requests
are made by a person who, only a short time before making the request, acquired
merely a small number of BACs in the partnership and seeks the list for an
improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest of the partnership
or is harmful to the partnership. In order to best serve and protect the
interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the General Partners of
the Partnership have adopted a policy with respect to requests for the
Partnership's list of BAC holders. This policy is intended to protect investors
from unsolicited and coercive offers to acquire BAC holders' interests and does
not limit any other rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership
Agreement or applicable law.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). This
statement simplifies the current standards for computing earnings per share
(EPS) , as specified in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings
per Share" (APB 15). Under SFAS 128, the presentation of primary EPS will be
replaced by the presentation of basic EPS. For companies with complex capital
structures, the presentation of fully diluted EPS will be replaced by diluted
EPS. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB 15.
The Partnership will adopt this standard in fiscal 1998, beginning with the
fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1997, and its adoption is not expected to
have any impact on reported earning per BAC for future or the retroactive
application to prior periods.

The Partners
Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Freedom Tax
Credit Plus L.P. and consolidated partnerships as of March 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners'
capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
March 31, 1997. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedules. These
consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedules based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of 27 of the consolidated partnerships, which statements reflect
combined assets constituting 48% and 49% and combined revenues constituting 49%
and 49% of the related consolidated totals for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for those partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors,
the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P. and
consolidated partnerships as of March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended March 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Partners of
Washington Brooklyn Limited Partnership
New York, New York

We were engaged to audit the accompanying balance sheet of Washington Brooklyn
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1994, and the related statements of
operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the partnership's
management.

We were unable to obtain written representations from management as required by
generally accepted auditing standards. Also, certain supporting data was not
available for our audit. Therefore, we were not able to satisfy ourselves about
the status of tenant recertifications (which effect the low income housing
credits) and reserve fund requirements, as well as the amounts at which due from
managing agent, due from general partner and cash restricted for tenants'
security deposits are recorded in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31,
1994.

Because of the significance of the matters discussed in the preceding paragraph,
the scope of our work was not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not
express, an opinion on the financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph.

Gentlemen:

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of C-H DEVELOPMENT GROUP
ASSOCIATES (a New York Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and the
related statement of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for the year
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on the audit.

I conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain a reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that the audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of C-H DEVELOPMENT GROUP ASSOCIATES as
of December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Partners
Victoria Manor Associates
Los Angeles, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Victoria Manor Associates (a
California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and the related
statements of partners' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Victoria Manor Associates as of
December 31, 1994, and results of its cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with general accepted accounting principles.

         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE

To the Partners
Eagle Ridge Limited Partnership
Madison, Wisconsin

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Eagle Ridge
Limited Partnership as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995, we
considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements
and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure. However, we
noted a certain matter involving the internal control structure and its
operation that we consider to be a reportable condition under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control
structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Partnership's
ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with
the assertions of management in the financial statements.

The reportable condition we noted was that there is not an adequate overall
internal control structure design because there is little segregation of duties.
A system of internal control procedures contemplates an adequate segregation of
duties so that no one individual handles a transaction from its inception to its
completion. While we recognize your entity may not be large enough to permit an
adequate segregation of duties in all respects for an effective system of
internal control procedures, it is important you are aware of this condition.

We also noted matters involving the internal control structure and its operation
that we have reported to the management of the Partnership in a separate
communication.

This report is intended for the information of the owners, management and the
Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority.

To the Partners
363 Grand Vendome Associates, Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of 363 Grand Vendome Associates,
Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of
Loss, Partners' Capital and Cash Flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are unable to obtain adequate support for the carrying value for the building
construction and rehabilitation costs included in the fixed assets at December
31, 1996, which also affected material amounts included in the Statements of
Loss and Partners' Capital for the year then ended as described in Note 10.

In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements of such
adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been
able to examine evidence regarding the carrying value of building and
rehabilitation costs, the financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of 363 Grand Vendome Associates, Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1996,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Partners
West Hill Square, Ltd.
Gordo, Alabama

I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of West Hill Square, Ltd., a
limited partnership, RHS Project No.: 01-054-631010865 as of December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the partnership's management. My responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.

I conducted the audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers Home
Administration Audit Program. Those standards require that I plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that the audits provide a reasonable basis for
my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of West Hill Square, Ltd., RHS Project
No.: 01-054-631010865 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on pages 10
through 13 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental information
presented in the Multiple Family Housing Borrower Balance Sheet (Form FmHA
1930-8) Parts I through II for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, is
presented for purposes of complying with the requirements of the Rural Housing
Services and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in my opinion is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, I have also issued a report
dated February 21, 1997 on my consideration of West Hill Square, Ltd., internal
control structure and a report dated February 21, 1997 on its compliance with
laws and regulations.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          MARCH 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1 - General

     Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on August 28, 1989 and commenced the public
offering on February 9, 1990. The general partners of the Partnership are
Related Freedom Associates L.P. (the "Related General Partner"), a Delaware
limited partnership, and Freedom GP Inc., a Delaware corporation, together (the
"General Partners").

     The Partnership's business is to invest in other partnerships ("Local
Partnerships," "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary partnerships") owning leveraged
apartment complexes that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit
("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Some of the
complexes may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit
("Historic Tax Credits"). During Fiscal Years 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
Partnership generated $11,208,966, $11,208,869, and $11,208,869, respectively,
in Housing Tax Credits. There were no Historic Tax Credits generated in 1997,
1996, and 1995.

     The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 200,000 Beneficial
Assignment Certificates ("BACs"), which had been registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for sale to the public. As of August 8, 1991 (the date
on which the Partnership held the final closing of the sale of BACs and on which
the offering was terminated), the Partnership had received $72,896,000 of gross
proceeds of the Offering from 4,780 investors. As of March 31, 1997,
approximately $58,000,000 of net proceeds have been invested in 42 Local
Partnerships and no further investments are anticipated.

     The terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement provide, among other things,
that net profits or losses and distributions of cash flow are, in general,
allocated 99% to the limited partners and BACs holders and 1% to the General
Partners.


NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     a)   Basis of Accounting and Presentation

     The Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 31. All subsidiaries have
calendar year ends. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted for
intercompany transactions from January 1 through March 31. The books and records
of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain items in
Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996 have been reclassified to conform to 1997
presentation.

     b)   Basis of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and 42 subsidiary partnerships, in which the Partnership is a
limited partner, with an ownership interest of approximately 99%. All
intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have
been eliminated in consolidation. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or
the affiliate of the General Partner, which affiliate has a contractual
obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership, to remove the general partner of
the subsidiary partnerships and to approve certain major operating and financial
decisions, the Partnership has a controlling financial interest in the
subsidiary partnerships.

     Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arises from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective
subsidiary's partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any.

     c)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments in short-term
money market accounts (which were purchased with maturities of three months or
less).

     d)   Investment in Marketable Securities

     Effective April 1, 1994, the Partnership adopted the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." At March 31, 1997 and 1996 the Partnership has classified
its securities as available-for-sale.

     Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized
gain (loss) reported as a separate component of partner's capital until
realized. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below
cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security. At March 31, 1997 and 1996,
the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale was $5,483 and $11,101,
respectively.

     e)   Cash held in Escrow

     The Partnership in certain instances will pay a certain percentage of the
aggregate purchase price with the balance held in an interest bearing escrow
account. Certain benchmarks, such as occupancy level, must be attained prior to
the release of the funds.

     f)   Property and Equipment

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Under SFAS No. 121, the Company is required to review long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment of properties to be held and used is determined to exist when
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations on an undiscounted basis
are below the properties' carrying value. If a property is determined to be
impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value. Effective April 1,
1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, consistent with the required
adoption period.

     The determination of fair value is based, not only upon future cash flows,
which rely upon estimates and assumptions including expense growth, occupancy
and rental rates, but also upon market capitalization and discount rates as well
as other market indicators. The General Partners believe that the estimates and
assumptions used are appropriate in evaluating the carrying amount of the
Partnership's properties. However, changes in market conditions and
circumstances may occur in the near term which would cause these estimates and
assumptions to change, which, in turn, could cause the amounts ultimately
realized upon the sale or other disposition of the properties to differ
materially from their estimated fair value. Such changes may also require
write-downs in future years. No write-downs for impairments have been recorded
as of March 31, 1997.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives,
which range from 20 to 40 years for properties. Equipment lives range from 5 to
7 years and are depreciated on a straight-line basis. The property is
depreciated using accelerated or straight-line method.

     g)   Acquisition Fees and Costs

     At investor closings, the General Partners were paid a property acquisition
fee (equal to 6% of the gross proceeds) for evaluating and screening real
property to be acquired. Acquisition fees and other acquisition expenses
incurred by the Partnership are charged to the property accounts based on the
costs of properties acquired.

     h)   Income Taxes

     The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income
taxes. Net income or loss generated by the Partnership is passed through to the
partners and is required to be reported by them. The Partnership may be subject
to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax
purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (see Note 8).

     i)   Development Deficit Guarantees

     Amounts received under Development Deficit Guarantees from the developers
of the properties purchased by the Partnership are treated as a reduction of the
asset.

     j)   Operating Deficit Guarantees

     Amounts received under Operating Deficit Guarantees from the local general
partners are treated as operating loans which will not bear interest and will be
repaid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or
refinancing proceeds.

     k)   Organization and Offering Costs

     Costs incurred to organize the Partnership, including but not limited to
legal and accounting, are considered deferred organization expenses. These
costs, which had been capitalized, were amortized on the straight-line method
over a 60-month period and were fully amortized as of the end of the 1996 Fiscal
Year. Costs incurred to sell BACs including selling commissions and fees and the
non-accountable expense allowance were considered selling and offering expenses.
These costs were charged directly against limited partners' capital.

     l)   Loss Contingencies

     The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

     m)   Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions relating to reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     In accordance with SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents, Cash Held in Escrow, Accounts Payable and Other
Liabilities, Due to Local General Partners and Affiliates, and Due to General
Partners and Affiliates

     The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, cash held in escrow,
accounts payable and other liabilities approximates fair value. Due to Local
General Partners and Affiliates and Due to General Partners and Affiliates would
be paid from the future operations or sale of the properties which is not
readily determinable.

     Mortgage Notes Payable

     The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where practicable,
based on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.

     The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage note payable are as
follows:

</TABLE>


     (a) The mortgage notes payable are insured by HUD primarily in accordance
with Section 236 of the National Housing Act. New loans are no longer being
insured in accordance with Section 236 and presently existing loans are subject
to restrictions regarding prepayment. Management believes the estimation of fair
value to be impracticable.

     (b) Other

     The Partnership is subject to risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally, however no more than 24%
of the properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial
risks associated with owning properties receiving government assistance, for
example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to
make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to
partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owners equity
contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its
investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy
agreements are in existence, without HUD's approval. Furthermore there may not
be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance
contract expire.

     Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will
or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the
only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is
diversified by the location of the properties around the United States so that
if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the
remaining properties in the portfolio may not be affected. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy.

     depreciated primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful
     lives ranging from 5 to 7 years.

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Freedom Tax Credit Plus
L.P., the entire purchase price paid by Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P. was pushed
down to the local partnerships as property and equipment with an offsetting
credit to capital. Since the projects were in the construction phase at the time
of acquisition, the capital accounts were insignificant at the time of purchase.
Therefore, there are no material differences between the original cost basis for
tax and GAAP.
